Waiting On Him

Speak Lord, in the stillness,

While I wait on Thee,

Hushing my heart to listen

In expectancy.

Speak,O blessed Master,

In this quiet hour;

Let me see Your face, Lord,

Feel Your touch of power.

For the words that You speak

“They are life ” indeed;

Living bread from Heaven,

Now my spirit feed!

Speak, Your servant hears You!

Be not silent, Lord;

My soul on you does wait

For Your life-giving word!

comfort and salvation

Once I heard a song of sweetness,

As it filled the morning air,

Sounding in it's blest completeness,

Like a tender pleading prayer;

And I sought to find the singer,

Where the wondrous song was borne;

And I found a bird, quite wounded,

Pinned down by a cruel thorn.

I seen a soul in sadness,

While it's wings with pain were furled,

Giving hope, and cheer and gladness

That should bless a weeping world

And I knew that life of sweetness,

Was of pain and sorrow borne,

And a stricken soul was singing,

With it's heart against a thorn.

You are told of one who loved you,

Of a Savior crucified,

You are told of nails that held Him,

And a spear that pierced His side;

You are told of cruel scourging,

Of a Savior bearing scorn,

And He died for your salvation,

With His brow against a thorn.

You "are not above the Master."

Will you breathe a sweet refrain?

And His grace will be sufficient,

When your heart is pierced with pain.

Will you live to bless His loved ones,

Though your life be bruised and torn,

Like the bird that sang so sweetly,

With it's heart against a thorn?

The Rose by Anonymous Author

It's only a tiny rosebud

A flower of God's design;

But I cannot unfold the petals

With these clumsy hands of mine.

The secret of unfolding flowers

Is not known to such as I...

The flower God opens so sweetly

In my hand would fade and die.

If I cannot unfold a rosebud

This flower of God's design,

Then how can I think I have wisdom

To unfold this life of mine?

So I'll trust in Him for His leading

Each moment of every day,

And I'll look to Him for His Guidance

Each step of the pilgrim way.

For the pathway that lies before me

My Heavenly Father knows –

I'll trust Him to unfold the moments

Just as He unfolds the rose.

The Glory Of God

The sun set was so pretty I just had to shoot the sky.

The heavens are telling a story

It's the story of the glory of God

and the skies up above are declaring the work of His hands

Day after day go's on

Night after night His wisdom is heard

yet there is no voice there are no words

But the story go's on to the ends of the earth

Hallelujah!

For the Lord God reineth from the ends of the earth

we declare your Glory

Hallelujah!

For the righteous shall shine as the stars in the sky

In the Heavens God has placed a chamber

It's a dwelling place made for the sun

Like the bridegroom comes forth from his chamber

he has been with his bride

A champion mighty is he

rejoicing to race, he is ready to run

To rise from the east, to set in the west

Nothing is hid from the heat of the sun.

Hallelujah!

For the Lord God reineth from the ends of the earth

we declare your Glory

Hallelujah!

For the righteous shall shine as the stars in the sky!

Morning Is Breaking!

Morning is breaking, sons are awaking

Darkness retreating, light coming forth

Round the dark mountain marching no longer

Life like a fountain,breaks from the earth.

Glory to Jesus sing Hallelujah!Glory to Jesus Glory to God!

Death has been conquered

Life with the morning,breaks forth eternal

Glory to God!

Now we are coming ,from every quarter

An army marching victory assured

Darkness is vanquished,death is relinquished

Past is the midnight,we are the light! *

Long have we slumbered,darkness surrounding

Long have we slept in doctrines of night

Bound by religion, chained in division

Losing the vision,Jesus the Light! *

Thine is the Kingdom,Thine is the Power

Thine is the Glory,forever more

We bow before Thee,praise and adore Thee

Praise for redemption,Glory to God! *

endureth for ever.Praise ye the Lord. Psalm 117

This evening I baked a blackberry pie. For dinner I made fried zucchini. My younger brothers really want to pick the pie. I am finding joy in the place Jesus has prepared for me.

Resting in His will for me.Living His life. I have set my face toward the goal and am never looking back."

Live for for Jesus. seek ye first His kingdom and His righteousness. And

give your all to Him love the Lord with all your heart and strength".
